Well, it seems that a very long time ago, when royalty still lived in the Palace here, Peg-Fist Jack and his crew of scalawags were the terror of the high seas. And one October, just around Halloween, they came and raided the Palace, hoping to make off with the treasure within. But the captain of the guard, LeBlanc, set a trap for them, and there was a great battle. The pirates got away with the treasure, but Peg-Fist Jack was mortally wounded, and now his ghost haunts the City this time of the year.
